Thanks Jim!


The partitions on My USB HDD and Pen Drive are of FAT32 type. Only some of the partions on my Fixed Hard Disk are of NTFS type which I don't really need to access in RHL 5.

So, I will try to mount my Pen Drive or USB HDD by adding them to RH/etc/fstab as you have sugegsted.

Thanks for the link. I am fidning it a little difficult for me to understand the NTFS thing so I will go for FAT32 because I am new to RHL 5 and UNIX.

Therefore, either copy your files to the FAT32 parition, or to the NTFS paritition.

NTFS can be mounted read-only. It cannot be written from RH
Linux. Follow instructions here to get your partition mounted.

MOUNT_NTFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MOUNT_NTFS(8)

NAME
mount_ntfs -- mount an NTFS file system SYNOPSIS
mount_ntfs [-s] [-o options] special node DESCRIPTION
The mount_ntfs command attaches the NTFS file system residing on the device special to the global file system namespace at the location indi- cated by node. This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time, but can be used by any user to mount an NTFS file system on any directory that they own (provided, of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that contains the file system). The options are as follows: -s Mount the volume using case sensitive semantics. This means that you can create files that have names that only differ in case such as for example "foo" and "Foo". Without this option the volume is mounted using case insensitive semantics in which case if you cre- ate a file with name "foo" you then cannot create a file named "Foo" or rather if you do create a file named "Foo" it would overwrite the existing file "foo". -o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible options and their meanings. SEE ALSO
